As litter flies across the street, the driver of the yellow car suddenly jumps out and begins to run off but officers were quick on his tail.

But the officer was attacked with another bin as they chased the man.

Witnesses describe seeing the yellow car struggle after running over a stinger strip at a nearby roundabout.

One man was arrested on suspicion of stealing a yellow Ford Ecosport.

The car failed to stop, leading to a short pursuit in which it collided with two police vehicles.

Chief Superintendent Darren Wildbore of Humberside Police said: "The dangers of throwing a bin at a car while the car was travelling could have caused serious injury, not only to my officers but also to the public in general.

"We will be investigating this incident thoroughly to find those responsible for these actions and bring them before the courts.

"Behaviour and attacks like this on our officers simply will not be tolerated."
